Santana: mystic merger of jazz & soul
recorded tunes on "Moonnower"
("Zulu", "I'll Be Waiting", "Transcendence"), Carlos also welcomed back
Carlos Santana, after a few years
(albums) of searching, has again found
success, both commercial and musical.
Fresno's warm response to Santana
Sunday night (Feb. 26) at the Selland
Arena was the last of many, as the
group ended tbelr V.S. tour with a
show opened by. Journey, a hard rock
band.
His recently found success Is evident
through (1) the sales of tbe current
live/studio double album, "Moonflower"
and, (2) the SRO crowds that have packed halls across the U.S. to witness the
band that both critics and musicians
alike have called the best Santana band
ever assembled —Tom Coster, keyboards; David Margen, bass; Graham
Lear, drums; Greg Walker, vocals; Pete
Escovedo, tlmbales; and Armando
Peraza and Raul Rekow, congas.
As for Ms musical success, Carlos
has finally merged his pre-mysttc past
with the jazz/soul that dominates today's
music. He has won back many fans
that abandoned  him  during his trans-
many of Ms old fans by playing such
old favorites as "Evil Ways", 'Incident at Neshabur", and "Batuka".
Carlos showed Ms maturation as a
guitarist by demonstrating that speed
Is line, but It's how you use that speed
that counts.   On songs like "Europa",
' Carlos bottled all his fury and spread
It, ever so smootMy all the way up to
tbe rafters.
Tom Coster, Carlos's spiritual
counterpart, spiced tbe scorching Latin
rhythms with Jazz chords and rhythms,
adding a new dimension to the music.
Graham Lear and David Margen kept
a solid bottom throughout, with Margen's
bass sparking new life to old favorites.
Lear pushed everybody^ andpusbedMm-
self to unthinkable extremes with Ms
"Hands 'and Feet" drum solo during.
"Soul Sacrifice".
Tbe legendary Santana percussion
section was in top form. By adding
conga master Peraza to the already
tigM duo of Escovedo and Rekow, Santana kept the crowd moving tbe whole
evening.
Escovedo showed why be is one of
the most la-demand Umbaleros by blitzing through tbe solos on "Black Magic
Woman",  "Batuka",  and  "Jugando".
The conga players got their chance
to shine in a conga duel in the middle
of "Soul Sacrifice". The pair stunned
the audiencewithRekow'sspeedandPer-
aza's masterful ability to create melody
with bis congas. He also showed his
versatility by playing a bongo solo that
Just kicked ass on "Dance Sister Dance".
By coming back for a triple encore,
Santana gave Fresno a night foil of
music they wanted to hear. "Tuossatnt
L'Overture" proved to be a tour de
force, with its thundering percussion
and screaming guitar lines.
"Heart", a new, unrecorded stog,
bad Carlos Jamming over aiubtly driving rhythm of organ, bass and drams.
The now-erased audience would not
let Santana leave until tbey beard one
more song, and Carlos capped the evening with tbe song everybody wanted to
hear —"Samba Pa Ti".
Played in all Its beauty, "samba"
showcased tbe legendary Santana's endurance. His ability to stretch tbe spirit
of a song took on a new meaning is
Carlos touched bis forehead, his heart,
then bis guitar: his mind, his soul,
and his music are one.
Journey, though not appreciated by all,
gave a fine performance of what they're
all about —hard, driving rock free of
gimmicks and full of musicianship.
Editor's' Note: The next issue ot
"La Voz de Aztlan," available at
all the usual campus newspaper distribution locations, March 15 will confab
